don't think it'll help any. i think MS updated something and it won't use the certificate. so, if i do a hard reset, then i'll reconfig everything and it won't let me connect again. or it won't let me admin it at all and i'll be stuck with default settings.

i reset ie settings on both computers and still can't connect. so, if i do a hard reset, then i'll probably want to reflash the firmware because something is goofy with the router. and if that fixes things, then i'm stuck with trying to figure out how it got compromised and how soon it'll happen again.
